Congrats! I did not bother to check again after oath ceremony. I will not be surprised if they dont update the status for a while.

St.James-One got a reaction from beterlatethanever in Montgomery, AL Field Office
I had my interview today and was recommended for approval. Below is my experience:
My interview was scheduled for 1.30 PM. I got there 12.58 PM and got through security pretty quick because nobody was in line. After security, there were some people already seated and waiting. I asked one of them if I had to get a time ticket/number somewhere and the guy said no. I sat for less than 2 min before an officer called me in. He didn't try to initiate any conversation so I asked him how his day was going once we got to his office. Next, he asked me for my green card, then he took two finger prints (I guess to confirm identity). Then he asked me to read and write sentences about Columbus Day. I can't remember all my civics questions but I'll give it a shot:
- If Pres and V.P can't serve, who's next?
- Senators are elected for how many yrs?
- Declaration of Independence
- One branch of government
- What does the President's cabinet do?
**Can't remember the last one
Then he started reviewing my form. He asked for my social security number, phone number and current address (he wrote the new address on the form). Then, some "No" questions. I had a speed ticket of $225 which I disclosed on the form with documentation. He asked if I had the speed ticket with me and I told him that it was less than $500. He said ok but he just got my folder today so he has not been able to go through it. He shuffled through my application and found it. Then we moved on to the rest of the "No" questions. That was it! He asked me to sign a few things and verify that the info they want to put on my certificate was correct. He said congrats and printed out the Interview Result form (marked that I passed and that I'm recommended). He said the oath notice will come for Birmingham or Montgomery (whichever is sooner). The officer was cool but didn't do any extra talking. I was out of the building by 1.24 PM (before my appointment time). It's the quickest I've gotten in and out of a government building.
Good luck guys!

In line for interview as of today. My 'one month before' date was June 17 (which was Saturday) so technically the theory worked in my case. I still doubt the 90+% accuracy of the theory but it sure looks legit enough not to be a coincidence. @Private One: You were right when you said my 'In line' would come soon. At least, now I know I won't be stuck in BC. The real waiting game begins.....and Atlanta office is the king of backlog.

So I took some time to create google spreadsheet (modified from a previous one) for April 2017 N-400 filers but its still ok to continue the copy+paste that we've been doing. I will be adding more formulas as time goes on. I already updated everyone's information and I will try to keep it updated but anyone can also edit it.

St.James-One got a reaction from Mtro in i-751 April 2016 Filers - Part 2 (merged)
I was here on F1 visa too then filed AOS after getting married. I got approved for I-751 under one year. I'm still not sure about (but I won't discard) your theory @Mtro

Your theory may be right about delays with those category of applicants but I don't know why that would be the case. If you provided sufficient evidence and satisfied USCIS such that you got approved for conditional GC, why would they delay your application for ROC because of that particular reason? For the first application (I-145), the burden of proof is on you. For the the second application (I-751), the burden of proof is mostly on them.

Same here.....tracking indicated that it has been delivered. It should be sitting there nicely in my mailbox waiting for me.

I really hope everyone on this forum get their approvals soon. I'm rooting for all of you! Keep the hope alive- it will come soon.

Thanks. I just called them too but the wait time was ridiculous so I opted for the 'call-back'

Okay everyone, I like seeing all these updates but not with the clutter of the list as it is pasted here. I have a suggestion: can we transfer the list into google spreadsheet and just post the link whenever the list is updated? This will really make going through the forum a bit better especially if you're looking at this on your phone.......just my 2 cents.
